    In Leviticus 11:22, the singular noun appears within a list of insects that may be eaten, each specified “according to its kind.” The APB renders the verse with several insect names, but its loose, whole-verse wording does not isolate the term’s precise English equivalent.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Leviticus 11:22, the APB presents the clause as a list of permitted insects “according to its kind.” Its individual English insect labels cannot be assigned to this term with certainty.
